× It keep me engaged and yes, it is more convenient to escape from a real world.
✓ It keeps me engaged and yes, it is more convenient to escape from the real world.
Subject-verb agreement error: the subject 'It' requires the third-person singular verb 'keeps' (add -s). Also 'a real world' is incorrect article usage and noun phrase; use 'the real world' to refer to the shared concept. Suggest practicing matching singular subjects with verbs and using 'the' for specific/general known concepts.
× Basically I use Airpods which is more convenient for me and portable also to carry in my pocket, in my purse or?
✓ Basically I use AirPods, which are more convenient for me and portable to carry in my pocket or purse.
Article and noun agreement: 'AirPods' is plural, so the relative clause needs plural verb 'are' (subject-verb agreement, ID 27 as well, but per list article errors ID 22 applies). Also sentence structure and punctuation: remove trailing 'or?' and reorder 'portable to carry in my pocket or purse.' Suggest learn brand names that are plural and match verb forms; avoid dangling conjunctions.
× Basically, I usually use my headphones when I used to relax, have some me time with me and enjoy my own company in crowded places.
✓ Basically, I usually use my headphones when I want to relax, have some me-time, and enjoy my own company in crowded places.
Tense error: 'used to' implies a past habitual action, but the context is present habitual, so use present 'want to'. Also redundancy 'have some me time with me' is incorrect phrasing; use 'have some me-time'. Suggest distinguishing 'used to' (past) from present simple when describing current routines.
× Also I used to blog background noises and yes, that's it.
✓ Also I use them to block background noises, and that's it.
Incorrect verb + -ing/form and wrong verb choice: 'used to blog' is wrong; intended meaning is present use to block noise. Use 'use them to block' (verb + infinitive) or 'to block' is correct. Suggest practice verbs collocations like 'use to block' and avoid 'used to' when not describing past habits.
× Play the conditions when I will not use my headphones will be I guess when I'm talking to someone and or maybe when I'm in my tuitions and I'm having my classes.
✓ The situations when I would not use my headphones are, I guess, when I'm talking to someone or when I'm in my tuition classes and listening to my teacher.
Future/conditional and sentence structure errors: original mixes 'play the conditions' (incorrect phrase) and awkward future 'will be I guess' plus 'and or'. Use conditional/modal 'would' or simple present for scheduled events; 'are' with present continuous 'I'm talking' is fine. Also 'tuitions' is nonstandard; use 'tuition' or 'tuition classes' and 'teacher' instead of 'teachers/professor' for consistency. Suggest simplifying structure: 'The situations when I would not use...' and avoid redundant modal stacking.
× So I want to listen to my professor or teachers.
✓ So I want to listen to my professor or teacher.
Number agreement/pronoun issue: mixing singular and plural ('professor or teachers') is inconsistent. Use singular 'professor or teacher' or plural both. Suggest keeping number consistent when offering alternatives.
× So yeah, at that particular point of time I don't use my headphones.
✓ So yeah, at that particular point in time I don't use my headphones.
Incorrect use of preposition: 'point of time' is unnatural; correct phrase is 'point in time'. Use 'at that point' or 'at that particular point in time'. Suggest memorizing common time expressions.
× Yes, it is very convenient and very comfortable. Because it is lightweight and is very portable, it can fit easily in my pocket in my purse.
✓ Yes, it is very convenient and comfortable because it is lightweight and very portable; it can fit easily in my pocket or purse.
Adjective/adverb and sentence structure: repetition 'very convenient and very comfortable' is redundant; combine. Also punctuation: avoid starting a sentence with 'Because' to join clauses properly. 'In my pocket in my purse' should be 'in my pocket or purse'. Suggest combining clauses and using 'or' for alternatives.
× Yes, it's very comfortable.
✓ Yes, it's very comfortable.
